This
weekend we bring our Liturgical Year as well as our Jubilee Year of Mercy to a
close as we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King – a time for us to refocus
on who or what is “King” in our lives.
There
is no shortage of alternative “Kings”, but lately it would seem, politics has
been a dominating “King” in all of our lives. If you are like me, maybe you are
exhausted from being barraged for the past 18 months with divisive rhetoric
from both sides of the isle filled with anger, fear and hatred and then seeing it
repeated and amplified through social media – language and actions devoid of
love and mercy…and now we are wondering why hate crimes are on the rise?
So
what sets the priorities in your life? Who or what is your King? Perhaps a bit of wisdom from Elie Wiesel,
Pope Francis and Lukan Gospels will point us in the right direction. Click and
check it out.
